RECREATION. 



WILL 100 SPEND A PENNY 



For a Sick Friend? 



Here is my proposition. I have written the six books shown below. I want no money, 

 I simply desire the privilege of sending the book needed to some one who is not well; — I will do 

 more: To prove my faith in my newly found principles of cuiing the sick, I'll send you an 

 order on your nearest druggist for six bottles of Dr. Shoop's Restorative. I will let you or 

 your friend take it for a month; and if it succeeds, he will charge you $5.50 for it. If it fails, 

 your druggist will send the bill to me. 1 will tell him to trust to your honesty, leaving the 

 decision to you. You will know then what my Restorative can do. My Restorative will gain 

 your good-will and endorsement under such a trial. 



No physician ever has, nor ever will, I believe, make an offer like this — my remedy is the 

 only prescription yet found to stand a test like this. 



And I do exactly as here stated. No catch. No deceit. You deal with your own drug- 

 gist, who may be your neighbor, and a stranger to me. The plan protects you absolutely. 



You will see this offer published in every high-class magazine 

 and widely circulated paper in America, and here lies the proof 

 of my success. My records show that 39 out of each 40 who ac- 

 cepted the six bottles, paid for them. They paid because they 

 were cured — there are 39 chances in 40 that I can cure you. Is 

 this not a remarkable offer? Is not the record of cures even 

 more remarkable ? I fail sometimes, but not often. A few of 

 these diseases arise from causes like cancer, for which, as yet, 

 no man knows a cure. 



And how do I accomplish this? I will tell you. I have 

 found a way to strengthen the inside nerves — the only way yet 

 known. These nerves alone operate each vital organ. The 

 Heart, Stomach, Kidneys, etc., each have their nerve branch. 

 The power that makes each organ do its duty, is the inside 

 nerve power— nothing else. I know how to restore that power. 

 No mr/tter which organ is weak, this nerve system operates them 

 all. Nerve strength or weakness extends to all. 

 My Restorative goes directly to this cause — these nerves. That is the secret of my success. 

 Don't let prejudice keep you from learning what my books will tell you. They are practical 

 books written for intelligent people. I am not appealing to ignorance, and I wish to dis- 

 courage prejudice. No matter what your doubts. Remember I have spent a lifetime on my 

 method, and it is unknown to you. I cannot call personally upon seventy-six million of people. 

 Then I must tell you of my offer through the papers you read. 



The telephone, the telegraph, the wonders of electricity have been solved by man. May I 

 not have found a way to do as much for human ills ? 



Thousands who are sick will read this — who are discouraged because of others' failures to 

 cure them. That is no reason why they should not get my book. You cannot know too much 



about ways to get well, when such ways 

 can be tried at my risk. This offer is too 

 fair to need argument. Won't you spend 

 a penny for a sick friend ? Write a postal 

 to-day for the book he needs. Your 

 reward will come in knowing you opened 

 the way to a cure. 



Simply state which book you 

 want, and address
